Void in Space-Problems: Image Set to Conclusion(2008 Aug 27)

Could be just a cold area of space.
A close up area of cold
area passing through cold gas
area passing though cold dust
I am not really clear on what basis void is concluded.
Clearly there are many great voids seen, but I think clarity needs to be established in these studies. one pass of WMAP showing some kind of region does not mean there is a void. It could be just some kind of distinct area of space. It is notable that several previous voids have been seen at far distances. Why far distances for voids? do not know.
the color scheme is also not clear to me from the image. Why is blue attached to cold in that image; is the image associating traditional blue with higher frequencies and higher energy or what is the association?
I find voids interesting again because they mean an area of inhomogeneity. The CMBR is said to be homogenous and isotropic on a microscopic scale but large scale structures are varied and inhomogeneous. I find the image interesting, but not the conclusion. It says to me that the WMAP image shows inhomogeneity and that is about all I learned from a quick glance at the image.
still stressed from jail threats from County but I hope I will recover.
